So would I use loctite on the CV bolts? I've seen long discussions about those, where they talk about safety wires and special washers when installing them, which makes me think you don't use loctite on those.

Do tie rods get loctite? I'm doing a turbo tie rod upgrade, removing the 36 year old stock ones while the car is already up on jackstands.

As far as anti-seize, lug nuts and spark plugs are all I've known to really use it on. But what else?

Lastly, what about the triple square flywheel bolts? Do those get anything?
